 One of the most pressing issues impacting financial industry firms is how to
increase speed and reduce latency when accessing market data and trade
execution venues. Growth in the size and quantity of orders is requiring that
both the buy and sell sides develop solutions that will increase data speeds
and capacity. This is necessary to realize faster and better trade execution
capabilities in the highly competitive securities business.

 Latency will vary depending on characteristics (i.e.: message size, volume of
messages in and out of the servers, traffic volumes and network speed, the physical
distance between hosts and the efficiency of network drivers on the various hosts).
 IP network latency is generally caused by four delay categories: queuing delay,
switching delay, propagation delay and serialization delays.
 Queuing delays reflect data bottlenecks and relate to the traffic profile. Bursty
applications and resulting data spikes impact this delay. In addition, if the connection is not
sized appropriately data packets will begin to get backlogged until a queue is cleared.
 Switching delays are related to time delays associated with moving the data packets
through network components. Fewer network “hops” result in reduced latency.
 Propagation delays reflect timing delays for the data signals to traverse the
telecommunications footprint. In general .7ms of propagation delay for every 100 km can
be used to approximate this latency component.
 Serialization delays relate to the time it takes to move the data into a circuit. Typically
the serialization delays get smaller as the bandwidth of the circuit increases. As an
approximation, these delays can range from 3ms (for circuits at 1.5Mbps) down to .05 ms
(for circuits at 100 Mbps).
